Please enjoy meeting this talented artist at her unique shop at http://www.Kraftymax.etsy.com where you will find "Handcrafted Fully Beaded Original Jewelry Creations." I love this featured piece which is called "Patchwork Quilt Tulip Bracelet." It was inspired by her "mother's quilting pattern."

In her own words she has a valuable message for all artists which is to spend your energies on what is a good fit for you.

"But, one thing I can say as a tip is that no matter which of the wonderful ideas you find in Crafting Success Books, find what you like and work it. Don’t try to do everything all the time, I tried and found out I had no time to bead. Now I work on what fits with me and I really work it and just check in with some of the others on occasion."
